The bloody drug turf war playing out on the streets of Surrey and Delta has resulted in fresh arrests and dozens of charges, police announced Tuesday.

A combined 35 counts, including trafficking and weapons charges, have been approved against Arman Dhatt, Pardip Brar and Rajvir Sunner, and two other unnamed men have been arrested and released pending further investigation.

Police first announced charges against Dhatt in April, and none of the new charges appear to be directly related to the shootings that have plagued Surrey and Delta for months, but Mounties said there are additional counts being considered.

There have been a staggering 30 shootings reported in the neighbouring Metro Vancouver communities since March 9, half of which have been linked to a rivalry between two groups of low-level drug traffickers.
